Based on the post above, is it safe to assume that F3x fitment will be 19x8.5" ET35 and 19x9.5" ET35?

The 19x9 ET30 would work on the front of a F30 with a 245/35 - with no rubbing (I have 19x9 ET29 currently with that tyre)

Will we be getting a F3x spec 10j rear with profile 3 concave? (19x10 ET40 would be perfect)

The 8.5/9.5 fitment above is typically what we recommend for the F30, since it can support a 245 tire just as well and is a lighter wheel. The 9" ET30 you mentioned also works, and will come in around 22.5 lbs.

We do have a 19x10" ET33 and 19x10.5" ET40 in the works, but we haven't tested those sizes for clearance on the F30 just yet.

What's the best width rear tire on the 10" rim? A 275? 285?

Ideal is a 285. That will give you a square sidewall.

Will a 10.5" fit a 295 on an f30 without rubbing? Dinan springs -2 deg camber or so?

It'll be tight. You'd need the right offset, like et45 or higher.

ray340i ran that setup on his previous wheels. I'm not sure how much camber though.

The problem is no APEX wheels come in that sizing as far as I've seen. I know they tend to advertise fitment for square setups, but I wanted to run more than a 255 in the rear and their offsets don't seem to cater to that.

This brand new production run I wonder what their et is for a 10.0 width? That would be better as not so tight. I’d be satisfied with a 275/285.

I have a 275 on 9.5 et40 and it fits well. I think a 285 will fit but not so eager to go up a size personally. I like the fitment as is and no rubbing or anything so I'm satisfied.

Last I checked all of their 10"+ sizes were et2x. I was hopeful for the SM-10s but it looks like they're going down the same path, primarily for M3/M4 fitment. Works well for a track rat that wants a square setup but my car is only street driven. Plus, who doesn't like the look of a wide tire from the rear

19x10 ET4X Please (or 10.5 et44-45). I've seen tons running 20x10.5 et45. So that size could go for both chassis. the f80 guys can do 19x9.5 & 19x10.5 and the f30 guys can run 19x9 & 19x10.5. Everyone wins. I can definitely do the 19x9 et30 in the front. Finding Apex wheels for the f30 is beginning to become a real challenge. I'd sincereley hate to have to do the forgestars (my third chioce). I like the sm-10 and arc-8 so much more, Ecspecially along with you guys great customer service.

Exactly the 9.5 width is fine for the f30 but a 10.0 will fit! Let’s do this apex
